Also, GL should be optional, just like with Qt; it introduces

abstraction layer and create a software blitter (I was
professionally doing such stuff before, for GUI toolkits and
stuff; but then again this stuff is trivial).
16 ms is not noticeable lag for any reasonable application.
One has to limit the design to something that can be completed in
reasonable time and that offers something that existing solutions
do not. So there is a need to fix the minimum requirements and
target that. Either the minimum is a regular screen buffer or it
is capable shader based hardware.
